The listeria outbreak is linked to meat that was sliced at grocery store deli counters, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
At least two people have died and more than two dozen have been hospitalized after a listeria outbreak linked to meat sliced at grocery store deli counters, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday. At least 28 people in a dozen states have gotten sick, with the most cases being in New York, according to the CDC. The two deaths linked to the outbreak were in Illinois and New Jersey. So far, there's no information linking prepackaged deli meats to the outbreak, the CDC said.
The CDC doesn't have enough information to say which deli meats are the source of the outbreak and the agency’s investigations are ongoing. Listeria infections typically cause fever, muscle aches and tiredness and may cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Symptoms can occur quickly or can take up to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food.
